Track-adjustment (track type only)

ADJUSTMENT INTERVAL: Every year, before operation
Make sure the tracks are clean and dry before adjustment. The tracks
cannot be correctly adjusted if clogged with snow or debris, or coated
with ice.
With the snowblower resting on
its tracks, check track deflection
by pres si ng do wn mi dw ay
between the wheels with a force
of 15 kgf (33 lbf).
When correctly adjusted, track
deflection should be:
27.0 33.0 mm (1.06 1.30 in) −

Adjusting procedure:

1. Loosen the left and right tension bolt lock nuts at the rear axle, and
turn the adjusting nuts to correctly tension both tracks.
2. After adjustment, tighten the lock nuts securely.

manufacturer's recommended tire pressure.
Before each use, check the tire
pressure with an air pressure
gauge.
